AER air purifier for veterinary clinics

What We Do

Your Staff Treats Every Patient — The Air Should Protect Them Too

A busy veterinary practice sees dozens of animals daily. Each one sheds dander, bacteria, and allergens into the air of every room they pass through — exam rooms, waiting areas, kennels, and surgical suites. For the clinical team spending 8 to 10 hours in these spaces, that exposure is not occasional. It accumulates across every shift, every week, every year.

prePaer’s ULPA filtration system continuously removes airborne allergens, zoonotic pathogens, and procedure-generated aerosols from the breathing zone — protecting your staff without disrupting the care they provide to the animals in their charge.

The Scale of the Problem

Veterinary Professionals Face One of the Highest Occupational Allergen Loads of Any Profession

Studies estimate that approximately 30% of veterinary professionals develop occupational allergies during their careers — most attributed to chronic dander and airborne pathogen exposure in clinic environments. Standard ventilation systems are not designed to address this load. They recirculate room air without capturing the fine particulate that carries allergens and pathogens, meaning the air in a busy vet clinic carries a significant biological burden throughout the entire working day.

Consider This: What Happens in the Air During Every Clinical Visit

The Airborne Threats That Never Leave the Building on Their Own

  • Pet Dander: The leading occupational allergen for veterinary staff. Fine dander fragments remain suspended in room air for hours and accumulate on all surfaces — only ULPA-grade filtration captures particles at the size where dander actually travels.

  • Zoonotic Pathogens: Bordetella, ringworm spores, Pasteurella, and Q fever are all transmissible via respiratory aerosol and represent a genuine daily occupational health risk for staff in direct contact with infected animals.

  • Surgical Aerosols: Veterinary procedures — electrocautery, irrigation, anesthesia exhalation — generate aerosols comparable in volume and composition to human medical procedures, yet often with less formal airborne safety infrastructure in place.

  • Kennel Air Concentration: Kennel areas concentrate airborne bacteria, dander, and pathogens in enclosed, humid spaces where staff spend significant time during feeding, cleaning, and monitoring rounds throughout the day.

  • Cross-Patient Contamination: Animals with contagious respiratory conditions share waiting room and exam room air with healthy patients before symptoms are apparent. Boarding facilities are especially high-risk for aerosol-based transmission between animals

  • Grooming Particulate: Grooming generates fine hair, dander, and particulate in large volumes. Without active filtration, this load disperses through adjacent clinic areas and accumulates in HVAC ductwork over time.

Our Solution: The prePaer AER System

Our Solution: The prePaer AER System

prePaer is freestanding, portable, and operational in minutes — which means it can be wherever it is needed most. Position it in the exam room during consultations, move it to the surgical suite for a procedure, run it continuously in the kennel. One unit provides targeted protection wherever airborne exposure is highest throughout the working day.

The prePaer AER System

The Air Filtration Layer That Turns an Allergen Room Label Into a Guarantee

Safe for Every Species — No Ozone, No UV:

prePaer uses purely mechanical filtration with no ozone, no ionizers, and no UV radiation. This makes it completely safe in environments with cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and exotic species, where even trace ozone levels can cause harm to sensitive respiratory systems.

Dander and Allergen Capture at 0.12 Microns:

Pet dander fragments travel at sub-micron sizes that standard purifiers miss entirely. prePaer’s ULPA filter removes 99.999% of particles at 0.12 microns — the threshold that meaningfully addresses dander-driven occupational allergy, not just large visible particles.

Zoonotic Pathogen Containment:

Airborne zoonotic organisms persist on fine aerosol particles long after an infected animal has left the room. prePaer’s continuous filtration removes these particles throughout the clinic day, reducing the ambient pathogen load that staff and healthy animal patients are exposed to during every appointment.

Portable — Moves With Your Workflow:

Freestanding and mobile. Roll prePaer into the surgical suite before a procedure, position it in the exam room for a high-allergen appointment, or place it in the kennel overnight. Protection follows your team’s schedule rather than being fixed to a single location.

Odor Particle Reduction as a Secondary Benefit:

Much of the odor load in veterinary environments is particle-borne. By continuously removing fine airborne particulate, prePaer also reduces the particle-carried odor that makes clinic environments uncomfortable for staff and clients across a long shift.

Staff Health & Retention

Protecting Your Team Is Protecting Your Practice

Veterinary professionals enter this field out of dedication to animal care. They should not have to accept chronic respiratory exposure as a condition of doing that work. Occupational allergen sensitization develops gradually — staff who work for years in high-dander environments can develop allergies that eventually force career changes.

Investing in clean air for your clinical team is an investment in staff retention, long-term wellbeing, and practice stability. It also sends a clear message to every team member that their health matters as much as the health of the animals they treat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. prePaer uses no ozone-generating technology, no ionizers, and no UV lamps. The filtration is entirely mechanical — air passes through the ULPA filter and clean air is returned with nothing added. This makes it safe in avian and reptile environments where even trace ozone levels can be dangerous to sensitive respiratory systems.

Bordetella bronchiseptica is transmitted via respiratory droplets and aerosols. prePaer captures airborne particles in the size range that carry these pathogens, reducing — though not eliminating — airborne transmission risk in kennel and waiting room environments. It works best as part of a broader infection control strategy alongside isolation protocols.

A typical small animal practice benefits from at least one unit in the primary exam room, one in the surgical suite, and one in the kennel area. High-volume or multi-doctor practices may deploy additional units per exam room. Contact Claerosol to advise on the right configuration for your specific floor plan and patient throughput.

prePaer’s laminar flow design creates a directed, gentle airflow — not a disruptive draft. The unit operates quietly at low speed (approximately 30 decibels) and does not produce sudden air movements that stress animals. Most veterinary teams position it at the edge of the exam area rather than directly adjacent to the patient, maintaining effective filtration without proximity stress.

Yes. prePaer includes a carbon filtration layer that helps remove odors including those caused by pets and other organic pollutants. A significant portion of kennel odor is also carried on fine airborne particulate — dander, hair, and organic particles — that the ULPA filter removes continuously. Using prePaer should not replace otherwise good kennel hygiene, but it meaningfully reduces the odor burden throughout a shift.

Under normal conditions, every two weeks is recommended. In a high-dander, high-traffic clinic environment the filter load accumulates faster. Monitor filter condition regularly — a loaded filter reduces efficiency. In areas with high pet volume or acute contamination events, more frequent replacement may be appropriate. Contact Claerosol for guidance based on your clinic’s profile.

Clean Air Is Part of the Standard of Care — for Every Species

Veterinary medicine holds itself to rigorous standards for surgical sterility, medication safety, and patient handling. Air quality deserves the same attention. The same pathogens and allergens that threaten animal health can also harm the humans who care for them — and the ULPA filtration standard used in hospital clean rooms and pharmaceutical manufacturing is now accessible in a freestanding, practice-ready format.

prePaer brings that standard to veterinary environments of any size — from a single-doctor small animal clinic to a large specialty hospital — without the infrastructure cost or complexity of built-in systems.
